Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 853-863, April 2026.
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Depositional and stratigraphic evolution of a Permian megalake system: Implications for seiche‐influenced models

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.
During the Late Permian, the rise of the Gondwanides Belt trapped marine waters, giving birth to a vast megalake. This lake shifted between overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled stages that are recorded by high‐frequency accommodation changes, while meteorological seiches shaped the sedimentary dynamic and produced heterolithic beds.

A First Quantification of Plant Endemism in the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe–Mozambique) and the Significance of Open Habitats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...

Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

Complete Chloroplast Genome of the Eria Sensu Lato Complex (Orchidaceae): Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Relationship

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We sequenced and assembled 18 complete chloroplast genomes representing the Eria sensu lato complex. Our comparative analyses unveiled stepwise NDH complex degradation, lineage‐specific positive selection on ycf1, and climate‐driven rapid radiation during the Late Miocene.
